Contributions

Gemcutter has a ‘commit-bit’ policy, much like the Rubinius project. Submit a patch that is accepted, and you can get full commit access to the project. All you have to do is ask us on #gemcutter on Freenode or bug qrush in a message and he’ll add you as a collaborator on the main repository. Feel free to fork the project though and have fun in your own sandbox.

Please read up on the GitHub Wiki for the latest contribution guidelines.

Organization
